**Changes since Version 3.85**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deth version 3.85a (Compiled on 19th February 96) also includes Heth 1.85a
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bugs Removed
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pressing escape whilst within a sub menu of 'change sector type' would hang the
program.
Changes/Additions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New VESADRV.VDR video driver, this may solve some graphical errors that people
have been experiencing. - Take a backup of the old one first.
New external & internal fonts used, this too, may improve on display errors.
Fixed the ini files, there were a couple of errors, mainly the button-bar stuff
was still present(these options have moved to F5 and F7) and selectiondelay
should have read stretchdelay, this is the amount of time to wait for the
automatic marquee select box to appear.
Tidied up the vertex 'show line length' mode (F4) by using a thinner font.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deth version 3.85 (Compiled on 13th February 96) also includes Heth 1.85
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Changes/Additions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
F5 Preferences menu split up and new options added.
Made some changes to the menu system:
Can now move left and right between the pull-down menus.
Cooler looking design, with better highlighting.
Left and right cursors now cancel standard menus, this is the same as
pressing the escape key or right mouse button, makes operations quicker, as
you don't have to reach for the escape key!
Cleaned up the map scrolling, no more "clutter" drawn on the top bar.
Cut down on the amount of rougue lines/objects that can be drawn if you
are zoomed right in to the highest levels.
If the wording 'Help', on the top bar, turns orange then by pressing F1,
help will be displayed about the item under the mouse.
[See CHANGES.TXT for a complete history of revisions.]
=============================================================================
KNOWN PROBLEMS:
There have been reported difficulties with ATIMach64 cards Since the problem is
not consistent with all users of ATI video devices, this may be a combination of
the GCC video drivers in DETH and system configurations. Thought it only fair to
warn ATI users that conflicts are possible.
Anyone previously having a problem with ATI cards should try out the new VESA
driver included with DETH and let me know if their problems are solved or
persist.
